2. Spiller – Towards an Animated Architecture against architectural
animation
-Seems to go against the purpose of this unit
- Reading goes along that train of thought that was pushed in first and second year of thinking about spatial quality and
materiality and not being restricted or confined by programs
- Personally a lot of this reading resonates with me because I feel the same, I feel like I understand the importance of spatial
quality (I’m still open to programs)
- I also agree with how the reading suggests that designing the exterior with these zoomed out 3d views makes the process feel
sculptural
- I’ve felt that “static” feel that the author describes with the design process (during my animation experiments) and how it’s
not logical and free flowing like the traditional design process
-I also agree with how sometimes you can get quite carried away with how well something is presented or rendered that you
don’t really pick apart the design, like it’s almost something to hide behind

3. -Needed to start to resolving how
the building could be built
- Planning subject to change, the
main ideas of a outer skin, inner skin
and core with 1 – 3 levels will stay
the same

4. Building Tectonics
(1) EXTERNAL GLASS STRUCTURE
(2) INNER GLASS STRUCTURE
(3) CORE – FORUM SPACE
(4) SECOND FLOOR
(5) FIRST FLOOR

5. Building Tectonics – External Glass Structure
- Most complex feature of building
- Needed a method of supporting
large triangular glass panels
- Steel support system would be
visible at edges (like in renders)
- Tried sketching how the facade
system would work

6. Building Tectonics – External Glass Structure
- Initial thoughts as to how the steel
support system would work
- Square post with angled “c” sections that
would hold 2 layers of glass
-Decided to look into how this idea has
been built

7. Building Tectonics – External Glass Structure
-Looked into Crystalline architecture – found 2 methods
- First Method
- Having steel support system used as structure to skin and
interior space (outer skin forms the evelope of the building
-functional use of faceted glass

8. Building Tectonics – External Glass Structure
-Second Method
-Use of steel grid or truss system to
support the glass and ground it or
“teather” it to a inner structure
- decorative use of faceted glass

9. Building Tectonics – External Glass Structure
-Bilbao Department of Health - Coll-Barreu Arquitectos
- Has a conventional rectangular floor structure that supports a
tubular steel framing network that holds the glass in place
- Features gaps between the glass (only serves a thermal
purpose, not weatherproof)
- Gaps between the outer skin and the rectangular building used
as a balcony space (therefore inner skin is the glass that covers
the rectangular building

10. Building Tectonics
- What this means for my design:
- Using an inner structure to support the outer skin is a more
realistic option however the inner structure can not a second
layer of transparency (like my design)
- Therefore I may need to use the functional skin structure
using a steel truss support system and have a type of “fake”
inner layer that doesn’t support the second layer

11. Building Tectonics
- Thinking of weight distribution and how the loads can be transferred into the ground
-Main points where the outer skin meet the ground are at the HSW level and the top of the cliff
DAB510 - EMERGENCE WEEK 11 JOSH KIM 8304548

12. Building Tectonics
-I believe that the weight of this outer skin can be transferred successfully into the ground at HSW and also at the top of
the cliff

13. Building Tectonics
- Rest of the structure (1st & 2nd floor &
Core forum space
- Because the main volume of the structure
is featured on ground level at
HSW, constructing the floors and the core
forum space should be relatively straight
forward
-However I will need to work the structure
and support for the 2nd floor and forum
space in a way that will work with my
concept (this will be complex)
DAB510 - EMERGENCE WEEK 11 JOSH KIM 8304548

14. - Apart from structural work I am wanting
to increase the floor space and make the
concept of the building attractive and
usable (before it was too squashed) using
the core and the levels etc
